There’s a time and a place. I’m not sure the potential demise of Oxford is the thread to be having ‘lots of fun’ on. It’s in pretty bad taste if you ask me.

Just a shame Laguta isn't in the GP's...

The racing in the UK isn't what holds it back... It's the operating model, business plan, and leadership of the sport that renders it almost irrelevant...

That PA system at Wroclaw, and also those around Poland, are certainly not fit for purpose... You can hear every word, and clearly...

Fantastic atmosphere in Wrocław as usual from a huge crowd

Nah you’re welcome to him, easy to look good when your opposition is that bad.

I love to see chewing gum in somebody's mouth when they're conducting an interview... classy 😂

By previous comments I think the Workington supporters are happy he isn’t riding for them.

All over some people prefer different view points, but most gather in the raised standing area at the back, between the start gate and 1st bend enjoy your trip over UTC 😀🔵⚪🏁

It's funny how somebody who doesn't seem to have any malice to anybody and likes a bit of a laugh has their own topic thread denouncing them ... yet some of the more vile posters who seem to be able to post nothing other than abuse and it passes without comment... a sign of the toxic times we live in I suppose 🤷‍♂️

First of all I hope Vinnie isn't too beat up after lifting off the 4th bend and ploughing into the fence ( No tattie puns please 😉). Following a first ride where he struggled with the track he was much more competetive. Shame after superbly getting into a 5-1 behind Cookie and looking comfortable he lifted and couldn't get it down in time. This was always going to be a tough task but we were left rueing points thrown away when in good race positions. Niklas looks a real racer and I look forward to see him develop as he settles in to British racing. Signs are that consistency will be pivotal to our chances of competing at the sharp end. Well done the Bears who all chipped in. The 10 last places undid the Comets but there were some promising signs. UTC

A game of two halfs , to use an analogy…. First half is the reason the sport is dying, track issues due to incompetent track preparation and having to be told how to fix it by the previous track curator who left the role because of the owners ! Took an hour on a freezing evening to sort it without a-decent explanation to the crowd. We were viewing on the back straight, normally great viewing point, but dust was just too much after two races so had to move to the home straight instead. After the tractor racing fiasco the second half of the meeting was much better with the close score and Comets getting in the groove and could have won the meeting if not for Vinnies loop when on a 5-1. Cook back to his best, Jeppesen very good. Bears relied on Klindt and Allen saving the day with the rest inconsistent but did enough to win the meeting but probably not the bonus point. overhall the diehards would have enjoyed it but went home feeling the cold and needing a hot shower whilst any newbies wont be coming back anytime soon. Redcar need better more consistent track preparation. P.S. Parked on the public road this time, much safer for the car.

Good showing from the Comets in the end, on other day we may have won but we will be very competitive on the road this season for sure. Hope Vinnie is okay, plenty of positives there.

Hopefully Lawson is alright, safely through to the next round of our cup. Cooper impressive again, Newman battled. Fraser just needs to be a bit smoother, I don’t know if it’s nerves or just his style but he’s a great gater and often looks fast. Look forward to us facing a Oxford or a Glasgow

And Brady would push Dan towards an air fence if he thought it would win him a GP... Dan, maybe this year, has learnt that, and would do the same...

The UK, once, "ruled the roost"... And, in the past 25 years, have had tens of millions of pounds given to it.... Poland have, quite rightly, looked at how this country ran its version of the sport, and, quite correctly, said "We won't do that".. Hence, we are where we are...

The new Dan.... Hugging the white line to ensure the race is won.... Brilliant to watch, this lad...

I’ve sat next to the owner of Zeilona gora (person interviewed then )and his wife at his house for Sunday afternoon tea,sureal moment

Given its exactly the same sport I do feel comparisons are fair... They are really good at running their version of it.... We are really poor at running our version of it...

Most poles and me too have canal anyway so watching on that

Great for Speedway is Wroclaw.

some entertaining races there. tungate can do it when he wants.

Worrying result for Ipswich against what is basically currently a four man Lynn team, should be looking to get 55+

and here they are, just for you🤣

Thanks Huggy.. ya clown! 🤡

Yeah what the hell was that all about? Was shocked when the red lights didn’t come on! They literally ALL seemed to be moving

How can this even remotely bother you?

Gonna have a drive up for this one I think, as theres no chance of rain. Always exciting the 1st match of the season, see how the newcomers look

https://www.mayfield-ms.com/about She is indeed. Seems Chris Louis has walked away from the sport completely then which is sad. Olly Allen is a decent co commentator don’t get me wrong, but Louis was better IMO and seemed to be the regular along with Tatum.

To be fair, Mario has only ridden speedway tracks before. Thankfully Ashfield is a speedway track.

Only 1 point for Ratajczak there. Rode his socks off. Just unstopable Kurtz & Bewley.

Don't know why people compare the UK to Poland completely pointless

Typical pilots always cheating 😜 the warming tyre rule has been in for a couple of years

You expect more from kubera, pawlicki and lebedevs no matter what the conditions

Baffling decision, the standard of refereeing in the last few years is scary

Appealing to a completely different demographic... A bona fide team sport, with jeopardy and consequence on every race for the riders, never mind for the meeting as a whole... No "jobs for life" from your mate who runs the sport as a hobby... No "can I borrow Bomber for a night"... Chalk and Cheese...

You in a brothel

Lovely day on Teèsìde at the moment. Bright sunshine bit cold though, but à good match in prospect.

Good luck tonight against the Monarchs

Thanks Iain. As I’ve said before I’m only trying to bring a humorous touch to the forum but also a positive response to threads also.

Kevin Long was there last night, working for Rerun Videos - I'm guessing he was doing interviews for the live stream? The "new" presenter is Stephen Foster, who has done it before when Long was unavailable. There was a big collective sigh when he was announced for 2026 - a great bloke, hugely experienced local radio presenter, but most definitely not a sports event announcer. At least Mike Western's fluent Swedish gave us the correct pronunciation of Hellstrom-Bangs - it really is an amazing language 🙂

Seriously considering not attending EWR this season as the team built is very weak and difficult to get up enthusiasm for the journey from Hull.

Streaming, big screen, looking after riders and a couple of passes in the first six heats. I’m becoming a witches fan. Mayfield, shall we link arms? We can do this!

It’s reported that Swietochloice’s return to Polish league action on Sunday is a 4,000 sell-out.

where the ref wont be scared to warn him or pull the start back for moving? at away matches maybe?

To see the future just look at the past. Zzzzzzzz Pre-dick-ta-bull. Zzzzz

To be honest I don't think its a bad thing, its been a bit 'vanilla' the last few seasons, particularly Lynn's end, let's get a little bit of needle back to whet people's appetite.
